The world has lost a marvellous person. Not only on a personal level , a great friend and confidant but also on a business level. Pauline strived to make the world a better place. She worked endlessly at improving the quality of life for those with disabilities. Her hard work will not be forgotten ,nor will she.
I miss you already. Farewell old friend.

To Aaron, Evan, Marlene, Michellle and Heather
We were shocked and very saddened to hear of Pauline’s passing. We were part of Pauline’s growing up years in the church in Gander. She was in my (Edna’s) Sunday School class along with 9 others and we had lots of fun studying the Bible, with lots of questions , celebrating birthdays and other special occasions with a party. I taught her to play the timbrels and she was very special as were the others. I (Edna) am lost for words to express how I feel at this time but I know that God’s Holy Spirit will comfort us all. We will all meet again someday if we are true and faithful. We will uphold you all in prayer at this time and in the days to come. Please take comfort in the words of Jesus when He said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Love to you all.

We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Pauline. We remember her most for her love and concern for Evan and Aaron, wanting only that her two boys be happy. Time and distance made it hard to keep connections but we were so happy to see her when she came to Oakville to pick up her service dog – she had such a positive, engaging outlook on life.
Much love to you all – may your memories of her help you through the days ahead.

We will be praying that the God of comfort will wrap His loving arms around you all in this time of sadness.

To Marlene,Michelle & Heather & families ,please accept our sincere condolences on Pauline’s passing. Forty one years ago we became neighbors when we moved next door after just getting married .We saw you grow from little girls offering to babysit into young ladies with your own children.We knew Pauline professionally when she worked in Gander as a nurse ,& had an occasion to care for her when she came home one summer to visit her parents. We would always ask your Uncle Tom & Aunt Marjorie how you girls were doing .Rest assured we will keep you in our thoughts & prayers as you go through this difficult time.Blessings,Jackie & Gary Dalley
